The Harvard / MIT Coop happily announces the return of our IN-STORE Event Series.

Based upon the generous and positive feedback we have received from our favorite authors, new friends, and our loyal customers, it’s time to bring back what we have missed so much……connectivity and discovery, in real life!

Note: All attendees are required to wear masks. Attendance is limited and based on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise noted.
